Yet, in examining the drills scheduled to take place in Boston during
the attack, it might also prove helpful to examine the possibility of
other types of terror drills taking place across the rest of the
country, since the event itself did have nationwide reverberations and
since such evidence of “coincidental” planning may further point toward
the veracity of claims asserting a false flag attack having taken place
in Boston.

Two such drills have predictably surfaced in the last several days.

One of the drills, which took place at Three Mile
Island just outside of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was “coincidentally”
scheduled for the day after the Boston Bombing and did, in fact, take
place on the Tuesday after the bombing.

The Harrisburg drill, “the first simulated test of a terrorist attack on
a nuclear power plant” was designed to simulate “an attack by a group
of eight armed men” on the facilities according to a statement by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) spokesman Peter Herrick Jr.
as reported by Michael Sadowski of Yahoo! News.

It was stated by Alan Brinser of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management
Agency that “Tuesday's test involved more than 1,200 participants in 76
municipalities and 15 school districts.” Brinser also stated that the
site of the next drill has not yet been publicly released.

According the Yahoo! News report, the drills were scheduled in
accordance with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (NRC) requirement
“that the country's 65 nuclear power plants test their preparedness for
terrorist incidents every two years.” The requirements went into effect
in November, 2011 and have been in the planning phase ever since. The
full history of these requirements can be read here at NRC: Backgrounder on Force-on-Force Exercises at Nuclear Power Plants.

The second drill taking place on or around the day of the Boston
Marathon Bombing was located as far south as the Carolinas and,
interestingly enough, was supposed to encompass almost entirely the same
scenario as that which took place in Boston the day before the South
Carolina drills were supposed to take place. The North/South Carolina
exercise, however, was planned at least a year before.

These drills were scheduled to take place over two days and envisioned a
bomb detonation at Bank of America stadium in Charlotte, North
Carolina.

Under this scenario, some of the people in
Charlotte hospitals would be moved to Columbia so the bombing casualties
could be treated in Charlotte.

On
day one of the drill, participants walked through how they would get
the patients off of airplanes, into a hangar, assessed and then routed
to Columbia-area hospitals. On Wednesday, two military transport planes
filled with actors and mannequins will land at the airport and the
responders will go through a more realistic exercise, actually taking
the "patients" off the planes and taking care of them.

Also
worth mentioning is the fact that the military, which has played such a
prominent role in the response to the Boston Bombing and the martial law
lockdown of the city, featured as a major participant in these drills
as well. As Kittle writes,

More than 150 people from the military, state
and local agencies, and 14 regional hospitals are taking part in the
two-day exercise at Columbia Metropolitan Airport. The exercise is part
of the National Disaster Medical System, which is activated if a
disaster is so large that it overwhelms a local area's ability to
provide sufficient medical aid.

When
asked about “emergency responders’” reactions after seeing what had
taken place in Boston, Jeff Straub, Emergency Manager/Safety Officer for
the Spartanburg and Regional Health Care System, as well as the
individual in charge of the drill, gave an interesting response.

We weren’t surprised. It's unfortunate and we
hate that anyone was injured, but I think it solidifies why we do these
exercises and the importance that it can happen anywhere: Boston,
Greenville, Columbia. Any of those areas, if there's a threat, we need
to deal with those accordingly.

Of course, the above
statement should not be taken as a suggestion that Mr. Straub was
consciously involved in any false flag event or that he was willingly a
part of a disinformation campaign. The paranoia regarding terrorism and
imminent attacks has been so embedded in the American psyche that it is
highly likely that Mr. Straub believes his own fear-mongering.

But one does legitimately question the reason why drills are taking
place at virtually the same time as the Boston Bombing, with at least
two of them (Boston and North and the Carolinas) involving scenarios
eerily identical to the Boston event itself.

Granted, they are taking place in different locations. However, the fact
is that coordination of these drills are not just taking place at the
state and local level; they involve Federal agencies overseeing and
playing a major role. Let us not forget that the drills surrounding the
9/11 events did not take place only in New York.

For this reason, one would be justified in suspecting that the drills
surrounding the Boston attacks may be related to government involvement
in the Boston Bombing itself, with the architects of such an attack
using the planning and development of drills occurring in other
locations in order to obfuscate the actual planning of the Boston event.

At this point, however, we simply do not know the role that the drills,
if any, played in the Boston Bombing. For that reason, it is yet another
anomaly we can add to the long growing list of unanswered questions
surrounding this event.

I encourage readers to investigate whether or not drills were occurring
in their state on or around the Boston events and post their findings in
the comments below.
